Fish have long been known to communicate by several silent mechanisms, but more recently researchers have found evidence that some species also use sound. It is well known that fish communicate by gesture and motion, as in the highly regimented synchronized swimming of schools of fish.
Can fishes talk to humans?
To some extent, yes. Of course not like how they do in Finding Nemo, but in a way, fish do have their own language. Not at all like our human one, fish use various methods to communicate with each other, including auditory, visual, and olfactory ways.Do fish have voices?
Fish Have 'Talked' For 155 Million Years, And Now You Can Hear Their 'Voices' All manner of croaks, chirps, and deep trombone moans permeate Earth's waters, just like the cacophony of sounds that fill its forest air. For example, reefs are surprisingly noisy places, and many of the noisemakers are fish.Do fish make noise to communicate?
A new study from Cornell University finds that fish are far more likely to communicate with sound than generally thought -- and some fish have been doing this for at least 155 million years. These findings were just published in the journal Ichthyology & Herpetology.What language do fish speak?

"And certainly they produce no tears, since their eyes are constantly bathed in a watery medium."Can a fish scream?
Fish don't audibly scream when they're impaled on hooks or grimace when the hooks are ripped from their mouths, but their behavior offers evidence of their suffering—if we're willing to look.Can a fish bark?
Altogether, more than eight hundred fish species are known to hoot, moan, grunt, groan, thump, bark, or otherwise vocalize.Do fish have feelings?
Nerves, brain structure, brain chemistry and behaviour – all evidence indicates that, to varying degrees, fish can feel pain, fear and psychological stress.Can fishes feel pain?
“Fish do feel pain. It's likely different from what humans feel, but it is still a kind of pain.” At the anatomical level, fish have neurons known as nociceptors, which detect potential harm, such as high temperatures, intense pressure, and caustic chemicals.How do fish pee?
A lot of fish get rid of the pee through an tiny opening, called a pore, that's near their rear ends—and in some fish, waste also goes out through the skin or the gills. When a fish pees in a coral reef, the corals wave their tentacles around like tiny arms to grab nutrients from the pee and absorb them.Do fish get thirsty?
The answer is still no; as they live in water they probably don't take it in as a conscious response to seek out and drink water. Thirst is usually defined as a need or desire to drink water. It is unlikely that fish are responding to such a driving force.Can fish love their owners?
Surprisingly, science has found that fish are capable of recognizing their owner's face, even if the owner is standing by the tank with other people. Fish can develop an association between something they like, being fed, with the person who feeds them.Can a fish drown?
Most fish breathe when water moves across their gills. But if the gills are damaged or water cannot move across them, the fish can suffocate. They don't technically drown, because they don't inhale the water, but they do die from a lack of oxygen.Can my fish hear me?
